Don't even try. They simply cannot understand how 'Apples and Pairs' reduced to 'Apples' can mean Stairs etc

No not the Cockney Rhyming slang but old Yorkshire dialect, we have some really nice Polish neighbours and we tried a bit of dialect on them, you should have seen their faces bless em, didn't understand a word of it, thought it best to leave the Cockney slang alone for now.

As one who was born a cockney, I can tell you not to waste your time. Even explaining it to other English speakers, is a non-starter. Especially as I am afraid that some where between Leytonstone High Street, London and Fifth Avenue New York, I seemed to lose my accent without even realising that I had.

I wouldn't try.
If we're discussing Cockney rhyming slang on the internet, the largest corporate and business tool available, does that mean CRS has had its day as a tool for having secret discussions about local affairs in east london ?

i do not imagine I do. no longer even "use your loaf" - extremely it by no skill struck me as rhyming slang; only a hardship-free form of expression - lots of my kinfolk say "use your loaf". people typically say it to me. and that i do not say "china" though that's fairly hardship-free too. one among my brother-in-regulation's acquaintances is China Uebergang and his butcher's shop is termed "China's" china plate - mate. my personal slang is better alongside the lines of Italian words, i wager, those days. And a form of Irishy turn of word even as i develop into youthful.
